The Pharisees

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“The Pharisees, edited by Joseph Sievers and Amy-Jill Levine, provides a treasure trove of essays for anyone interested in the various facets of the historical investigation of this movement. The Jewish, Catholic, and Protestant scholars from so many lands represent the very best of contemporary work in their fields and make this rich fund of articles an indispensable handbook on the Pharisees. As a Catholic priest and a Dominican friar, I recommend every Christian who preaches on the Gospels, or is being trained to do so, to read this volume carefully to avoid hostile and ignorant caricatures of the Pharisees (and by extension all Rabbinic Jews) in their ministries.”
